SOLVE CAREFULLY!! Please Write Clearly and Box the final Answer ( Show all steps ) Question : A good curve-fit to the head vs. flow for the 32-inch pump in the image shown below is: H(inft)≈500−(2.9E−7)Q2, Q in gal/min Assume the same rotation rate, 1170 r/min, and estimate the flow rate this pump will provide to deliver water from a reservoir, through 900 ft of 12-inch pipe, to a point 150 ft above the reservoir surface. Assume a friction factor f = 0.019. What is the pump efficiency at this operating point??? HINT : 150 ft above the reservoir surface.

After graduation, you work for a pump manufacturing company. One of your company’s best-selling products is a water pump, which we shall call pump A. Its impeller diameter is DA = 6.0 cm, and its performance data when operating at n. A = 1725 rpm (?A = 180.6 rad/s) are shown in Table.The marketing research department is recommending that the company design a new product, namely, a larger pump (which we shall call pump B) that will be used to pump liquid refrigerant R-134a at room temperature. The pump is to be designed such that its best efficiency point occurs as close as possible to a volume flow rate of V. B = 2400 cm3 /s and at a net head of HB = 450 cm (of R-134a). The chief engineer (your boss) tells you to perform some preliminary analyses using pump scaling laws to determine if a geometrically scaled-up pump could be designed and built to meet the given requirements. (a) Plot the performance curves of pump A in both dimensional and dimensionless form, and identify the best…

Hello i have an example with an answer , please show the solution since only the answer was shown in this example. And i need its solution to review properly. Thank you 1.Question : An existing pump is used to pump water with the following data at BEP: D = 2.15 in, N = 1784 rpm, ρ = 998 kg/m3, Q = 18 gpm, H = 4.2 ft. A larger pump is to be designed based from the existing one to be used for pumping slurry (ρ = 1220 kg/m3) such that its best efficiency point occurs as close as possible to a volume flow rate of 48 gpm and at a net head of 15 ft. Calculate the new pump diameter in inches. Round off your final answer to 3 decimal placesAnswer: 2.554
Suppose the pump of Fig. is situated between two large water tanks with their free surfaces open to the atmosphere. Explain qualitatively what would happen to the pump performance curve if a valve in the piping system were changed from 100 percent open to 50 percent open, all else being equal. Repeat for the system curve. What would happen to the operating point—would the volume flow rate at the operating point decrease, increase, or remain the same? Indicate the change on a qualitative plot of H versus V. , and discuss.
